Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New BF - home all day!
I've been caring for animals, literally my entire life. Growing up, we were 'the house with all of the animals', so I have firsthand experience with cats, dogs (small and large), bunnies, guinea pigs, chickens, frogs, birds, and more! From day 1 to their final days, I've been there with my pets (and others) through it all. My senior dog (17.5) recently passed away, so I have a lot of experience with elder care and medications. Now that it's just me (and my husband), I would love to help care for your pet and share a bit of my love with them. I know what it feels like to go off on holiday and wonder about your pet - rest assured, I work from home and believe in sending daily photo updates (at least!) Personal report card provided at end of stay! I live in an apartment with a large grass area attached, and a lovely park about 10 minutes away - perfect for walks and potty breaks! Due to the nature of my work, I am able to be available for animals that may need extra care, frequent outings, or medications throughout the day. I also live with my husband, Matt, who will be around and available to help care for your pet.

Ratings and reviews
Thank you both so much! I can’t thank you enough for taking such amazing care of Tobias. He was so happy and I know he was in the best hands!
Luna was happy and enjoyed her time with Sam and Matt. So much so, she kept escaping her carrier when we tried to bring her home. S Luna was obviously quite comfortable and would give her stay a 5 out of 5.
You really couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Sam and her husband treat our dog Moon with so much love and take her on long walks.
Sam is extremely patient, knowledgeable and a great communicator. She took excellent care of both our dogs and demonstrated the level of her expertise most of all with one of our dogs who is very reactive. Highly recommended!
A good sitter is responsive, caring and honest. All three traits that Sam possesses. From the meet up to the drop off,to pick up, it has been a seamless process with Sam. I have recently moved to a new neighborhood and was nervous leaving Luna behind but Sam took such great care of her. I got lots of pictures and regular updates. I could see in the pictures that Luna had made herself at home. Luna had a paw flare up while I was away Sam kept a close eye on it and also bandaged it to stop Luna from gnawing at it. I had peace of mind thanks to Sam and I have already booked Sam for Luna's next sit
Thank you so much, Samantha and your Husband! Toby came back happy and relaxed, which tells me he was very well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the care you gave him throughout the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again, and I’m sure Toby would be happy to come back too!

Schedule
I work for myself from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available for animals that may need extra care, frequent outings, or medications throughout the day. As well as lots of love and cuddles!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My apartment is very safe, with childproof windows and very pet-safe. I had a pet of my own living here until recently. There is a large green space attached to my apartment building that is well-lit and has lots of foot traffic. That being said, you can always find a quiet pocket of space for those who are less socialable.
A typical day
I like to provide lots of stimulation with a good balance of low-key snuggling time. It's really about learning from you what their routine is at home and replicating that as much as possible.
